Punta San Lorenzo

Punta San Lorenzo is an exposed reef and point break that produces reliable surf, best known for a long, peeling left that can run along the edge of the naval base. Conditions are described as having good overall quality and moderate power, with the wave becoming more powerful and hollow on larger South swells. Surf performance is closely tied to swell direction and tide. The spot is reported to work well with northwest (and also South/Southwest) swells, while offshore-south / East–Southeast wind setups are favored for cleaner surf. Mid-tide is recommended to reduce exposure of rocks and improve connectability, helping you avoid areas that can become dangerous at low water. Safety at this location requires extra attention. Submerged wreck/reef hazards and sea urchins are specifically noted, with low tide increasing the risk of exposed rocks. Strong currents can also occur along the point, especially on larger swells. Sources emphasize wearing appropriate protection (booties if sensitive, plus a helmet and impact-vest where indicated) and staying mindful of hazards when entering or paddling out. Finally, Punta San Lorenzo sits within a Naval Base, so access can be restricted and may require following military protocols and potentially carrying identification. The area is generally uncrowded/low-profile, but you should plan for limited support on-site (no lifeguards) and rely on nearby medical services if needed.
